Obama's Big Dilemma on Climate Change

Since the failure of the Cap and Trade bill to pass a Congress which had lopsided Democrat majorities, president Obama has had little, if anything, to say about the issue of Climate Change. (For those of you who may not recall, Climate Change is the new name for Global Warming.) Now, in a recent interview in that journal of national issues, Rolling Stone, Obama has returned to this theme of his 2008 campaign. Here is what he had to say:

“I suspect that over the next six months, this is going to be a debate that will become part of the campaign, and I will be very clear in voicing my belief that we’re going to have to take further steps to deal with climate change in a serious way. That there’s a way to do it that is entirely compatible with strong economic growth and job creation.”

So we are back at the point where Obama is going to "save the planet" just like he promised in 2008. Remember when he told us that his election would be the moment when the oceans stopped rising? But remember, if Obama is going to make climate change a big issue in the campaign he will need first to answer these questions:

1) What did Obama do during his first three and a half years to combat climate change? (This is not a trick question. The answer is that Obama gave billions of dollars of taxpayers' money to his big contributors to fund startup ventures in green energy businesses that failed for the most part. Indeed, the few that seemed to work created all their jobs in countries other than the USA.)

2) What exactly is Obama's plan to combat climate change in a way that will create jobs and economic growth? (Again, not a trick question, but surely one that will be difficult for Obama to answer.)

3) Finally, if this is such an important issue and Obama has a clear solution, why has he said nothing about it for approximately two years? (This is a trick question, since there is no possible coherent response.)

In short, climate change is one of those issues that is like most items at a garage sale, it looks good from a distance, but when you actually examine it you can see it is nothing but junk.
